• Forest School Visit June 2025

  Fri 13 Jun 2025

  We were delighted to welcome Caoimhe from Forest School NI to our school for an exciting outdoor learning experience. The visit provided our pupils with a wonderful opportunity to connect with nature, develop practical skills, and build confidence through hands-on activities in the natural environment.

  During the session, the children took part in team-building challenges and creative tasks such as den building, natural art, and fire lighting (under supervision). The experience encouraged curiosity, resilience, and a deep appreciation for the outdoors.

  A huge thank you to the Forest School NI team for an inspiring and memorable day!
